Yup, I’m done with Fuchs. He’s a liability.

4 missed layups. We should be winning.

Fuchs is fucking terrible. Other guys have the quickest leash I’ve ever seen and Fuchs can play through anything.

Bilau. Weston. Brown. Foumena. All deserve minutes if they have a pulse in their body and less than 5 fouls.

Brown and Fou both have 2 fouls. Most likely why Fuchs is seeing the court. His stat line is deceiving.

Missed like 4 layups and just kicked the ball out to Cam who was covered with 3 seconds left on the shot clock

Fuchs is not a very good rebounder but he is not a bad post defender and he is a decent finisher. Honestly I think it’s weird that he’s become the default whipping boy.

Wow Fuchs comes out and magically we close the gap.

Amazing.

Fuchs should be out of the game unless Archie wants to get John Chaney on Garway (which I don’t totally hate).

One possession game at half? I’d take that all day. Did a lot of good things, left some stuff on the table. We did not come out scared or intimidated. I like that. Have to stay mentally tough in second half and hope some stuff breaks our way.

We're in the game. Our foul trouble should be manageable. A couple of half time adjustments and we could make Providence pay for looking past this game.

Zek Luis Cam Always Bilau all missed easy shots, bad turnovers, and layups. Blaming all of this on Fuchs is ridiculous. I’m not saying he’s playing well but the kids getting bashed like he’s doing nothing good out there. Zek has missed two easy layups and a couple terrible turnovers.. He’s supposed to be our leading scorer.

Im proud of the way our guys are playing so far, including Fuchs…Good half. Clean some things up and we can steal this game. We need bilau to play more in the second half.

Fuchs did some good things, he did, but he also missed layups and complained to the ref as PC went 5 on 4 and scored. But solid half.

Fuchs has defended fairly well, but sorry the rest is mostly a disaster. He just moves so slow. He only needs to play spot minutes.

The Gaines kid for PC has a nice stroke. Have to watch him in the 2nd as he could hurt us.

I think we get a big dose of Hopkins in the second half.

The longer we stay in it the tighter the neck collar gets on the Friars.

He’s 2-6 from the field, missed 4 layups. I wouldn’t call that a great finisher

Fuchs is struggling, but he’s a freshman. He has the build to be a decent power forward in the A-10. He needs to hustle and unlearn some bad coaching, like the face-up box out.

Missing those few bunnies amd a few careless mistakes hurts, but overall these boys came to play and it's great seeing them take it up a notch and not get intimidated. Bilau with that little hook at the end. Kortwright laying it in. Answered them every time, playing like men tonight. Good to see House hit a few 3s too, we need buckets from him tonight. If we bring that same intensity 2nd half and tighten it up a little, we can take this game.

Okay, okay. It’s an emotional game so I get the frustration.

Look, Fuchs is giving us good minutes. He’s a freshman playing against an NBA caliber player in Hopkins and an experienced, mature college player in Oduro. Fuchs will grow, mature and learn to finish with contact.

He’s not perfect yet. He’s a work in progress that is worth keeping here.

Big second half! Go Rhody!

It’s not my opinion. He’s a -4.1 box +/-. And that includes 4 games against glorified exhibition teams and teams below the A10.

He was like a -19 against NW and -24 against wash state if I remember.

Fuchs couldn’t get off a screen and it led to a turnover on that pass.
